Is the solid waste an industrial waste?

Industrial waste is waste that results from or is incidental to operations of industry, manufacturing, mining, or agriculture. Industrial waste may be hazardous or nonhazardous. Nonhazardous industrial waste has three classifications.

Prepare for a TCEQ waste audit.

To ensure proper classification and coding of waste in Texas, we randomly audit a number of waste stream notifications each year. When a generator receives a request for information for the purpose of an audit, the information that a generator has gathered to classify and code his waste stream must be submitted to the TCEQ.

Generators should keep documentation that provides a basis for a waste classification determination. The documentation should clearly describe the rationale for the waste classification, and should include documentation of analyses and process knowledge as appropriate.
